Australia has revoked the visa of Israeli far-right politician Simcha Rothman, who was scheduled to speak at events organized by Australian Jewish groups. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke cited concerns over spreading division and hatred. Rothman, leader of the National Religious Party—Religious Zionism, will be barred from visiting Australia for three years. The move has drawn criticism from the Australian Jewish community, calling it anti-Semitic. Australia plans to recognize Palestine next month, a step Rothman has strongly opposed.
